About

Who Are You People, I Thought I Hired Goons refers to an exploitable meme format that imagines a person confusing two groups of people while hiring due to their names being homonymic, such as hiring goths of the goth subculture instead of goths of the Germanic tribes. Created by artist Fallenchungus in May 2024, the format achieved virality in the summer of that year.

Origin

On May 16th, 2024, webcomic artist Fallenchungus posted a single-panel comic in which an evil leader wishing to hire goons accidentally hires goons (masturbation addicts) due to the words being homonyms. The post (shown below) received over 9,600 reposts and 113,000 likes on X^[1] / Twitter in four months.
